TruckerAL Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 A rare mid week update here, got the clear and everything on all the parts. And I just had to get the rims and tires together. I'm blown away, this is looking awesome so far! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruckerAL Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 Before work today I had the itch to atleast see how everything would look together. I had to do a quick mock up, and I'm 100% pleased so far! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincen47 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Definitely looking good so far. I’m going to have to give that Revell chrome spray a try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pricey indeed, but the results are better than kit chrome! Just thoroughly let it dry, and don't clear coat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Looking good, I love it when I get far enough along to start doing mock ups to see if reality matches my vision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruckerAL Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Couldn't sleep, so I got to working on this project full force! Tomorrow I will paint up a lot more parts I hope. But here's what I've got done so far: -Cool mural under the hood -Frame warning decals as well as all the shocks, airbags, and battery box covers -Turbo installed on the engine, pulleys/belts on, and some engine spec decals. My hope for tomorrow is to paint all the engine piping/radiator fan/misc pieces, and install the engine into the frame. Then get the rear fenders glued and mounted, rims and tires installed, and paint the interior panels up. It's a lot for one day, but I think I can do it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruckerAL Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Busy weekend so far, and still one more day left. It may be done tomorrow, we'll see! This truck has been testing me though. Hit 2 major roadblocks, but got around it for now I think. There's too much to type out, so I'll just let do the pictures do the talking 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruckerAL Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 Thank you everyone for the comments! I enjoy reading the feedback👍 So here's where I stand at the end of this weekend. I have no idea how, but I ran out of glue and can't find my spare tube 🤦 so this project is on hold until I get more this week. By Friday, this build will be finished! It's been kicking my ass, but it's shaping up exactly how I envisioned it. Here's another big photo dump, enjoy! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the pedals are from an AMT KW W925. I modified them slightly around the edges, and then added AMT 359 steering wheel decals to the pedals👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractoraholic Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Looking real sharp! Very nicely done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruckerAL Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Work was slow today thankfully, which gave me a great idea: make a display base for my project. Took an old scrap piece of wood, cut it size, and "stained" it with a torch. It's beautiful, never done anything like that before 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
